1. Bayern Munich 0-2 Arsenal, Champions League Round of 16, Allianz Arena, 13th March 2013
(Arsenal - Giroud 3, Koscielny 86)
Having been pounded 3-1 in the first leg at home by a might Bayern Munich side, there was only pride to play for at the Allianz Arena for Arsenal. Or so it seemed. The usually noisy German cauldron was silenced in as early as the 3rd minute, when Walcott escaped the attentions of the Bayern defence, and set up Giroud for an easy tap-in. Bayern huffed and puffed, but Arsenal’s new backline, with Laurent Koscielny and Lukasz Fabianski selected ahead of Thomas Vermaelen and Wojciech Szczesny, putting in a majestic performance. Arsenal got their second goal, probably too late, in the 86th minute, when Koscielny headed in off a corner. Bayern were beaten, but not knocked out. It was one of the highlights of the season, as this win propelled the Gunners’ in the league.
